I have seen several of your posts where you have chosen a word for the year that is like some sort of goal you wish to work towards for the year. I decided that is not a bad idea and I have been tossing some ideas around in my head for several weeks. There really is only one word that is appropriate for what I really want to work on this year and that word is.......
HEALING
Healing myself physically
Healing myself spiritually
Healing broken relationships
Physically - I just started the weight watchers program to help me make changes for a healthy lifestyle. Along with this I have started walking regularly, well I started today! I have had a gym membership for a while now but haven't been too faithful. Well that is going to change. I am planning to go to the gym at least 3 days a week (to start). It will be easier once I get moved into my new home as the gym will just be down the street from my house (maybe a half mile).
I have had really great results in the past with the weight watchers program and regular exercise. In fact I lost about 65 pounds. But then I got lazy again and gained it back! The key is to make it a lifestyle change forever. So I will do it again!
Spiritually - This would include creating a peaceful lifestyle while seeking out a closer relationship with my Heavenly Father. I will do this through daily reading of the scriptures, attending the temple, praying more often, as well as regular church attendance.
Relationships - To mend broken relationships between me and a few people that should be closest to me. My children, my siblings, and friends. It has been a tumultuous few years where nasty words were said, feelings hurt, and where I have pushed some of these people away. I will work on making amends for my part in creating these broken relationships. I plan to work on forgiveness and in doing activities that will promote a more loving and open relationship with these people that I love.
Wish me LUCK!
